I also suggest to use a personal finance software with a cellphone or PDA phone. This makes recording and tracking expenses much easier. An Excel sheet on a PDA would do very well as a personal finance planner and it can be easily transferred to a PC for expenses tracking and archiving. Good tips!

You do not have to spend a ton of money on food and drink...Another way to save money is to pawn jewelry or other "big ticket items" that are just sitting around in a jewelry box or case.

I do have to say, that if you can't handle #3 - not going out for entertainment, there are still many ways you can go out for less. If you go to the movies during the day for example, you'll spend less than if you go at night. Going out to dinner with a coupon - and maybe even sharing an entree with a friend can also save you money while having a nice evening out! That’s a great article!

That way I knew I couldn't touch my travel money without going to see a teller during business hours. It worked really well - no chance to pull out the debit card at a bar...

It's not only harsh but highly impractical and unwarranted. One step talks about selling all your possessions like DVD collections, music player, books, clothes, stop goig out for movies, no dining out, etc. I ask what's the meaning and purpose of life when you don't have music, knowledge, social networking? Then why only sell those things, sell your house, utensils, don't travel by bus, taxi or airplane, start walking. Wear only two pairs of clothes, get rid of all your hobbies, interests, dreams. Why not become a saint? I am sure there are much better ways to save than kill your self like this. For ex. Pick a job like home tuitions, part time jobs, freelance jobs like transcriptions, cut down on cigarettes, every weekend outing, small hobbies classes from home, etc. Treat yourself well, life will always treat you likewise.

I remember saving for my first trip round the worl for a year. Sorting out my finances and saving really taught me, for the first time in my life how to control my financial situation. Hence I knew what I was earning and exactly what I was spending. It was a priceless excercise really. Again, nice article Lucia. Nice article.
